Ifwe may veer slightly off topic for a second,we're super excited for Venipede's final evolution, Scolipede, because it looks eerily similar to the gigantic red worm creatures inthe criminally underappreciatedscience fiction series The War Against the Chtorr by David Gerrold. Aside from the Chtorrans not being quadrupeds (they have two skinny but powerful and dexterous appendages on the front of their bodies, but no legs), the similarities are striking. In fact,Scolipede has the distinction of being the largest Bug-type Pokemon to date at two and a half meters long.

As far as moveset goes, you might want to give the new Bug-type attack Hard Roller a try, since it takes advantage of this family's physical attack and it's the only evolutionary family that can learn the move besidesGolem(weird, huh?). As usual,we recommend Sludge Bomb as another STAB too. Make sure to also use Scolipede's awesome speed to your advantage when you're planning your team – it's easy to forget about it becauseit doesn't look like it should be fast because of its size, but don't be fooled!
